Dear Sirs: About three months ago,
noticing a letter addressed to you in
the Bee from Gen. Slevin, in refer
ence to the cure of his son by the
use of Halls Catarrh Cure, we were
induced to commence the use of 1t
for our daughter Nellie now fourteen
years old, who has been suffering
form catarrh for about eight years,
during which time she has been trea-
ted by one of the best physicians in
the city. We have also tried the use
of almost all the known remedies
for catarrh, with no more success
than temporary relief. Many nights
have we laid awake to hold her
mouth open to keep her from strang-
ling. Her hearing had also become
affected. We were afraid that she
would never recover. We have now
used six bottles of Halls Catarrh
Cure and we believe Nellie to be en-
tirely cured. In few days after
commencing the use of it we noticed
a decided change for the better, and
from that right along she has i'm
proved, until now she breathes as
easily as any one. She sleeps well
and her hearing is perfectly good.
We feel that the disease is entirely
removed. We write this unsolicited
letter, feeling that it is due you, and
with the hope that others may be
benefited in like manner We can
hardly realize that such change
could be effected in so short time
after battling with the disease so
long. We are still using the rene
dy at intervals, as it seems to build
UP her system. You are at liberty
to use this in any manner you see
proper. We are yours, truly,
Mr.. and Mrs. S. BALDWIN,

The Democrat Appeals
to Thoughtful Men.

Ifthose who appreciate the
value of this paper will show
it to their neighbors our sub
scription will double. By
helping this paper, farmers
help themselves, because it
fights their battles.
We submit the following to
those persons likely to compre-
bend the money value to them
of journal that is truthful, whose
editorials are written by the ablest
men in the State and whose sole OBJ
iect is to bring about intelligent
voting. If this paper had 5000 cir
culation evenly scattered over the
State for one year the people would
understand public men and public
measures a hundred times better
than they now do. By universal
consent we give more information
useful to voters than any other pub
LEGATION. 1t is a new departure in
journalism in that it is State pa
per as distinguished from a local
paper. 1t is as different from the
ordinary county newspaper as it is
from a comic almanac. We do not
expect subscriptions from men who
prefer nonsense, but we have right
to expect the patronage of men who
think. who are more intelligent than
the average of their neighbors, who
wish to keep posted on current ques-
tions, and who desire to obtain solid
information.
The price is too trifling to consid-
err; it is less than two cents week.
The 50 copies we furnish for 81
costs us between 80 and 50 cents.
This enterprise was not undertaken
to make money. There was a need
for PUBLIC paper as distinguished
from PRIVATE paper; there was
need for journal whose utterauces
would not be warped by reward nor
intimidated by threats. The Demo-
Graf was established to supply this
need While we already reach a
much larger audience in West Vir-
ginia than any other publication,
yet it is not one-third as large as it
should be. Our object is to force a
discussion of questions that concern
the immediate welfare of the citizen.
Our object is to force politicians to
seek popular favor by faithful eff
forts to do what is in their Judgment
is best for the public veal. We trust
those receiving this issue will take
the trouble to remit subscriptions.
We do not understand why intelli-
gent men are not quick to support
this paper.
Our aim is quality, not quantity.
But any one who wants family
reading" can have it almost by the
cart load by taking the Franklin
Magazine in conjunction with the
DEMOCRAT.
The coming year will be full OF
interest, and no one reading this
paper will be ignorant Of any event
of public concern.

A Water Famine.

The water famine stills prevails
over a large portion Of Western Ken
lucky, and in the territory round
about Hopkinsville particularly.
There has been no rainfall of consid-
cradle quantity, since complaining.
Springs and cisterns have gone dry.
Hundreds of families in Hopkinsville
get scanty water supply from their
more favored neighbors, with much
trouble. Washer-women have water
hauled from a water course over
whose bed current has not flowed
for months, save for few briefinter-
walls. The pools in the bed of Little
River are kept alive by the flow Of
numerous springs along its course,
and the green color of some of these
pools which constitute the supply Of
stock and laundry water are sugges-
tive of malarial fevers, rather than of
cleanliness and publication.
This is the unpleasant situation in
which Hopkinsville, with popula-
ton of over 5000 souls, finds itself to-
day. Her water supply is miserably
inadequate, either for kitchen or laun-
dry. We are in the midst Of a water
famine. Tho Oldest inhsbitsnt says
that he has never witnessed its like
in this region. There has been moth
ing like it, we are told, for fifty years
But fresh, pure wholesome water, is
daily necessity, and If it fails II s,
partially or altogether, once in fifty
years, it is as bad for that year, az
though the ia mine was an annual af.
fair. To cut offa city's water supply
for single week would produce more
suffering and misery than to close iti
stores, workshops, schools and
churches for a year.
Evidently it will not do to delay ia
provide an ample supply of water fol
Hopkinsville for another year. Iii

Hopkinsvills's Needs.

Above all things, Hopkinsville
needs more manufacturing indus
tries. There is not 4 city Of its size
with location as good and the sur
rounding country favorable for such
enterprises, In the United States that
has as few. Our location is all that
could be asked and we are surround
ed by fertile lands and all that is
needed Is to act upon the matter, by
Offering sufficient inducements to
capitalists to come, locate in our
midst and invest, and extend hearty
welcome to the enterprising men
who may propose to start such enter
priseS. Our little city OF Something
less than ten thousand inhabitants
vould then be on the right road to
boom and prosperity.
with elegant pikesleading into the
CITY from every direction, and the
prospects of another railroad at an
early day, and with railroad outlets
to the South and West, already, there
"a no reason why Hopkinsvillc should
not be one Of the foremost cities OF
the South in the near future, So lets
pull together and success will crown
our efforts.

has been irregular and somewhat
lower than for sometime past. 1t
will become necessary for the holders
of dark tobacco to put it on the mar
ket sparingly in order to realize the
prices to which the situation seems to
entitle them. The following quota

Hopkinsville Tobacco Market.

For several weeks prices havebeen ir-
regular and buyers and sellers have
been too wide apart to admit of any
thing except very limited business.
The representatives of the Regies
seem to prefer the Sinking of auc-
ton sales and buying privately to fill
their very limited orders. Sellers
who know best tho crop situation are
sanguine of getting better prices In
the early future and spectators are
buying with the view of supplying
the requirements OF next season al
much higher prices and we think the
boons all over the country warrant
the conclusion. Low frosted kinds
are selling most freely at from 81 to
So. Chilled leaf is somewhat neg
lected and lower. Good sound Tugs
are probably 81 lower than six weeks
ago ranging from 81 to So.
Common sound leaf from Sc to 6 90.
